I am passionate about therapy, about the healing power of art, and about working with children, adolescents and families. I am a dedicated and empathetic Registered Psychotherapist and Art Therapist, with a Master of Arts in Transpersonal Psychology with a concentration in Art Therapy. I work with individuals on a sliding scale and with groups using both art therapy and traditional talk therapy. At heart I am a transpersonal, strengths-based, client- centered therapist. I have seen the therapeutic process help to shift my own life and the lives of many of my clients. I have witnessed art manifested as a healer in my path and in the journeys that children, adolescents and families make through counseling. I am excited to work with you on your own path; to recognize your strengths and to be with you through your challenges.

If you are an adolescent or young adult going through a challenging time in your life and would like someone to walk alongside you, I would love to be that person! My style is direct, down to earth and focuses on a team approach. I have over a decade of experience and have training in DBT, CBT and Motivational Interviewing. I work extensively with individuals with dual diagnoses including addiction, mental illness and intellectual disabilities. My experience has been in both a more traditional talk therapy setting, as well as experiential including equine and adventure therapy. Because of this broader skills set, I can be flexible in meeting your needs in a way that makes you the most comfortable.

I practice an emotion focused, somatic psychotherapy called Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. My style is directive, engaging, and confrontative when needed. My objective is to increase awareness of how you are getting in your own way of achieving your goals and helping you work through the underlying emotional conflicts that perpetuate the problem(s) you want to change.
